THE END GAME - Why Terri Schiavo Has To Die
The time-line for the Terri Schiavo case begins in February 1990 and continues up to May 2004. For 14 long years, the Schindler family have fought an agonizing battle for the life of their child, who unexplainably collapsed after a mysterious incident at her home.
For every one of those years estranged husband Michael has fought just as hard to have his wife put to death by a court ordered starvation/dehydration. Terri has no living will, does not have a terminal illness. One has to wonder why? Is there money involved? The husband claims the judicial award of $700,000 is gone.
Is it love? Michael claims Terri wouldn’t want to live with the brain damage that has handicapped her, however, his hear-say evidence of her wishes came only after the malpractice suit monetary award was announced. Michael’s loving “devotion” is somewhat marred by the fact that he now lives with another woman with whom he has sired two children.
What is the motive behind the restaurateur turned physical therapist turned nurse who passionately pursues his wife’s death? Many wonder. Could Michael Schiavo be a pawn, a pawn in a much larger game being played for much higher stakes?
Enter one George Felos, a kind of weird, yoga practicing guru lawyer yer who is fixated on helping people die. Felos, a board member of the Hospice, has U. S. Dollar visions, ideation that figures on book signings and movie rights once Terri is dead. Not to mention all the fame and fortune that will accrue to the man who finally overturns the law that protects the handicapped, the elderly, and the terminally ill’s opportunity to live until they die – by natural means.
When the gavel finally sounds that makes legal the whim of the courts to adjudge that a human person may be eliminated, by active or passive euthanasia, it will do so with the same language unearthed in the Constitution that has legally murdered 46,000,000 innocent unborn, the right to privacy.
Few people realize that every single FL institution, (Governor Bush excluded), every legal, judicial, medical, societal, journalistic and even religious, from the office of Attorney General Charlie Crist on down through the ranks to the local police department, is arrayed against this woman. This is a big case. Whatever happens to Terri has the potential to affect the entire U. S. population, a fact few people realize.

Your conclusion, I think, is on target. The Old Testament prophets cried out not only against injustice in Israel, but in all the surrounding nations. Mistreatment of the poor brought God's wrath on any nation.
God is aware of what is happening to Terry Schiavo. I fear that if we as a nation allow her to be dehydrated to death, then we will all suffer. Not just her husband, not just the courts, not just the medical staff, but all Americans, I fear, will be under the wrath of God. Kyrie Eleison.
The author of this article has said my thoughts perfectly, hence, my highlighted last sentence.
We will see ramifications beyond our wildest imaginings if she dies by their hand...
